The Museum gives a unique opportunity not only to discover the history of Jewish people in Warsaw and Poland (in Poland in 1939 there were over 3 million Jews, 9.14% of the total population). It also helps to understand the Jewish community itself, its culture and migration patterns all over Europe.

What is available in English?

  • The whole website content.
  • The exhibition is bilingual – all the information and captions are both in Polish and English.
  • The museum staff (e.g. in the ticket office) speaks good English.
  • The audio guides are available in English, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Chinese, French, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Yiddish.
  • There is available an audio guide dedicated to families (children aged 6-12). Audio guides for families are available in Polish and English. The tour with audio guides for families is shorter, it lasts about 1 hour. It’s nice for parents to rent the same, family audio guide for themselves (not the adult version) as the audio guide will guide them and the kids along the same route and the whole family will have the same stops on tour.
